Purpose Of This Chapter - HP 3563A Operating Manual

U s i n g T h e Linear Reso l u t i o n M od e

Purpose Of This Chapter

This chapter contains a detailed description of the linear resolution mode. The linear resolution
mode provides complex spectrum data that is linearly spaced.
As a reminder, the HP 3563A offers four measurement techniques - called measurement modes.
You choose the measurement technique you want by selecting one of the following four
measurement modes:
•
Linear Resolution Mode (described in this chapter)
•
Log Resolution Mode (described in chapter 4)
•
Swept Sine Mode (described in chapter 5)
•
Time Capture Mode (described in chapter 6)
Each measurement mode configures the HP 3563A differently. See chapter 2, "Measurement
Overview" for a summary of all four measurement modes. Chapter 2 also compares the four
measurement modes and discusses why you might select one over another.
Note Some menus differ depending on the measurement mode you are in. This chapter
shows you only the menus that appear when linear resolution mode is selected.
Appendix C, "Menu Diagrams," shows you the menus that appear for all
measurement modes. You may want to use appendix C as a quick reference since it
contains, in one place, all menus for all hardkeys.
